Day Four -Relaxing!

We headed home on day five, so day four was really our last day that we took pictures, it was by far our most laid back day and was the only day that we didn't go out anywhere.
(unless you count Matt's late night run to Jack in the Box to get shakes)

 Lily pointing out the seal swimming in the water (we also saw dolphins-it was pretty sweet)

The seal

 Playing in the water with Langley, she had such a great time... until a wave took her out.  Luckily it was toward the end of the day, because she wouldn't get back in the water after that.

 Here are some embarrassing pics of me 7 months pregnant, in a wet suit, to satisfy those of you who have been asking me to post a picture of my pregnant belly...there it is.  You can't hide much in one of these bad boys, but they make swimming in the California ocean in October SOOOO much better.  So I decided to suck it up and look a little ridiculous in order to be able to enjoy the ocean. I was just glad I was able to fit in it, though now a month later, I probably wouldn't!  *although I wish Matt would've taken a picture of me the day before, when I was just in the suit, this day I had been in my bathing suit on the beach for a while then decided to just slip this on while on the beach over my other stuff*

 Who says you can't body surf, just because you are a huge pregnant lady?

 ...although I will admit it is a BIT more complicated and interesting

 checking out the cool live clams

 LOOK! We were both actually there at the same time!

 This day also happened to be my nephew Braxton's birthday, so H & T took him out to lunch and then shopping for the afternoon, so we hung out with the girls.  After quiet time they all watched a movie (side note: they were watching one of our movies, but don't you LOVE redbox?  We were able to watch movies a couple of the nights with H&T that we hadn't seen before, SO nice to be able to easily pick up a flick for the night practically anywhere since they are ALL over the place)

 Isabel where she could be found a good portion of the time...snuggling Uncle Tommy

 Is anything more wonderful or peaceful than playing your guitar while sitting and staring at the ocean?  It was lovely.  Though I will admit that I only busted mine out once the whole trip, Matt took full advantage though. 

Another random side note, he also had a celebrity siting this day while out here playing, he saw Bridget Moynahan & "McG" on our boardwalk

Day Three - Fun in the sun!

The third day of our Vacay was also our wedding anniversary!  It was nice to spend it at the beach!  We played all day on the beach with the girls, and Matt and I took turns body boarding.  It was a gorgeous day and we had a great time!  That evening we went down to Hunington Beach and Matt and Tom and the kids had some spectacular fish tacos, then we went home and after the girls were down for the night Matt and I went on a mini-date down to Cold Stone for ice cream (could a pregnant lady ask for more?), then when we got back to the house we took a blanket, our portable DVD player and some sparkling cider down to the beach and watched our wedding video.  It was REALLY great.  All n all, not a bad way to spend an anniversary!

 Showing me her sandy feet, these girls LOVED to play in the sand, they could do this all day!

 Just chillin with Miss Langley

 She loved to bury her hands and feet

 Going out to catch a wave and ride it in with Jordan and Brax

 Lily playing in the water with Dad

If you can tell in this pic, her hands are covered in sand, as they were the whole time we were on the beach, but she is a finger sucker (Lily sucks her thumb & Izzie sucks her pointer, however Lily had the good sense not to try and suck her thumb on the beach!).  It was pretty gross.  She would put her finger in her mouth, then tell me the sand was yucky, but continue to suck her finger anyway.

 The result of the finger sucking, sandy mouth.  When she sees this pictures she makes a face and her "Ewww" sound and tries to wipe the sand off of the pic!
